    7x pro bowler, 4x first team all pro for 4 straight seasons, 1x second team all pro, has led the NFL in every receiving category in a season, all decade, best 6 year stretch in nfl history better than rice, moss, Fitz, T.O, Megatron, Irvin, Carter. Etc. He's definitely a hall of famer. He just won't get in early.

    I'm a huge fan of literature from all ages, and writing has changed forever. It will always change. How I write on Here is not how I would write 2 My Mother. Yes internet has changed how people write. Just like everything else it's changed. I would argue writing is not the worse it has changed. Also country 2 country the English language is used ,and pronounce so differently. We don't learn English. We learn American.

    Regardless of how messed up he is mentally it just makes no sense for him to just randomly not play and then not go in the game. For everyone of his act ours he actually had reasons for doing it. Regardless of how irrational they were.

    But the thing is that's what make Ben a bad leader. This is a guy at a different position but a somewhat comparable example is T.O. the problem wasn't that everyone disliked him. It was that he SPLIT locker rooms. There were many who sided with him and many who didn't. That's the same thing with Ben. As a qb everyone should like you. I don't recall any teammates saying this about Brady, either manning brother, Montana, Elway, Marino, Brees, etc.. too many people have called Ben out about his leadership. He does things leaders don't do. Look at what he just said about Claypool a few weeks ago.

    You really believe everyone liked those Qbs you mentioned? Maybe the reason we never heard anyone say anything abt them was the coaches had control of their locker rooms, or maybe the players felt like they didnt need to air dirty laundry to the media ??

    Doesn't mean anything. Prime example look at guys like Asante Samuel and Revis who after NE say it's all Brady and not belichick who's responsible for the success. So has nothing to do with anything. Plenty of guys said what they said about Ben AFTER they were gone. So has nothing to do with the coaches. It's because those guys were leaders. They didn't act above the team, they didn't throw people under the bus, they didn't conduct themselves in condensing ways like Ben did. Rodgers is the same but he just gets away with it a little more cause he's maybe the most talented guy to ever play the position.

    Antonio Brown belongs in the local mental institution for the criminally insane.

    The most plausible option is he got benched for whatever reason, felt the team was trying to avoid getting him numbers his incentives, and In turn quit on the team.

    Not everyone is going to like you. Brady led by fear and threats, he is no sweet angel.

    Maybe Ben didn't want to throw Claypool under the bus in front of the media? I bet you he has talked to Claypool constantly. Maybe the message isn't sinking in? Ultimately it IS Tomlin's job to do that.

    Apparently You didn't watch the after game interview with Peyton Manning. After Ben went into his house in the playoffs , and beat him. Peyton threw his whole offense line under the bus. Just because YOU haven't heard it doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
    Anyway most are like jackals. They don't approach the Lion till other jackals see that they can get away with it.
    Surely You've seen this in real life.

    Diagnosed? No you have to admit there is a problem first and he has never owned up to that. I will say and we have discussed this before on the board that he shows all the classic signs for bi-polar disorder. The scary part is that even if he seeks help and accepts that he does have a problem it is a life long battle to gain good mental health with those suffering having several incidents where they swear they are cured or that they want to feel and experience more than medication allows. It is not an easy thing.

    S

    same with Rudolph getting hit with his helmet against Cleveland. I've heard people on here say he was never the same after that hit. That's crap

    He wants Steeler fans to show AB more respect than Ben. Never going to happen. AB quit on three teams; I don't care what kind of career numbers he has. You can't use leadership as a cornerstone of an argument to disparage one player for another that p!sses all over the very concept.

    A message I can get behind. He seriously needs it. As it stands currently, who knows what his next intentions are.

    Not likely.


    I truly do fear that the "Antonio Brown Saga" is going to have a tragic ending to it. Again, would wish for him to get the help he so desperately needs. However, people like this sadly learn the unfortunate way.
